    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    JMK with 65 tackles. I'm pretty sure that's a club record. None of the forwards achieved triple digit yardage. Outclassed tonight, but almost stole the game. What they lack in manpower, they make up for it with character. There is a seriously good club in the making here. Ultimate success could...

    The Broncos are terrified of the Dolphins. The boys in red and white finished above them in the standings in only their second season!!! That's a big red flag as far as the Broncos are concerned. It could happen again this year. In fact, the Fox League projector has the two teams meeting in the...

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    Cronulla are firm favourites in this one and that's fair enough despite their recent woes. They have named a strong lineup and the Dolphins become more patchwork by the week. Big game tonight as they all are when you are vying for a playoff spot. I'm certainly not counting the Dolphins out, but...

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    Ch 9 reported this lineup change last night, but reports today are suggesting that Fuller will slot into FB.

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    Hammer has been ruled out. Averillo to FB and Naufahu to debut.

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    The Dolphins are taking 19 players down to Sydney, but the Hammer is likely to play. Fuller or Naufahu are options if he chooses to sit out.

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    He was the logical choice though, considering his experience in the halves and the fact that he trains with the squad. Throwing someone like Averillo in there would be a bit foolhardy and desperate. SOS will do the job, but he is a massive downgrade from KNik. I think we'll see how valuable Kodi...

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    Yep. He has played the last two weeks for Norths.

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    Kaufusi definitely won't be playing. Hammer will back up.

    Dolphins U20 NRLQ Series

    The Dolphins will win their first before the Broncos win their next. In fact, that premiership could come much sooner than we think. Woolf is building a very imposing roster here and if they ever have any luck in the injury count, the sky is the limit.

    You also said that they were looking to swap Kodi to the ESL as well. You have a problem with believing everything you read on social media.

    I think he is looking for a bit of a payrise. I can't imagine that he is earning more than 300K. It'll be his last contract, so he is looking to cash in. Like another poster stated, he would struggle to make the top 17 in a full strength side. But, since that never happens, maybe he is worth...

    Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

    I suspect SOS will get the gig. He's a specialist half and the next man up for the position. It's probably the safer (and least disruptive) option as well. Kodi's injury will have huge ramifications as it will severely affect their potency. I suspect this ever expanding injury toll is about to...

    They'd better hurry as there are only 11 hours remaining.

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Another resounding victory spoiled by another long term injury. This team has proven depth which is very impressive for a third year team. These guys won't die wondering, but it will catch up to them soon. With a full team (or close to it), this squad would be dead set title contenders. That'll...

    Junior Tupou has linked with the Sydney Roosters effective immediately. I thought it was strange that he was all of a sudden omitted for tonight's game. Now an opening in the top 30 to be filled by someone before Tuesday.

    Round 17 vs South Sydney

    Another vital match where a victory followed by the bye will firmly entrench the Dolphins in the playoff hunt heading into the bottom third of the season. Standing in the way are the WB led Rabbitohs who will be looking to snap a 4 game skid. Not an easy task against an almost full strength...

    There we go. Usually when things don't make sense, it's because it is total bullshit. Splitting up the best halves combo in the comp was never believable to me.

    Recruitment and retention

    He hasn't won a premiership. Like I said earlier, I'd be very surprised if he departs in 2026. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Why leave the NRL when you are enjoying the best form of your life? The ESL is where players go to die. You'd have to be pretty silly to assume that...

    The only problem with that is there's not any room in the roster. They would have to offload someone in order to accommodate Cobbo. Reports were circulating that Tupou was free to negotiate with another club in time for June 30, but obviously that didn't eventuate. They would have to send a...
